Be warned: The Fourth Kind will keep you on the edge of your seat, 2 November 2009
10/10
Author: soulinflight from Orange County, United States

I saw a screening of The Fourth Kind with a couple of buddies of mine, and wow this movie was truly powerful and thought-provoking. I was captivated by Milla Jovovich's strong performance along with the rest of the cast. Also, if you're looking for a disturbing movie... then this movie is for you. The real recordings combined with the recreated movie footage was so well executed that it will make you cringe and keep you on the edge of your seat.

Definitely got to give major props to the writer and the director. The Fourth Kind exceeded my expectations and truly sparked my fascination toward alien abduction and encounter theories. Now, I'm left asking many questions and still trying to decipher / figure it all out... This movie earns two thumbs up in my book.
